SweatPea is going to sweat it all off...

Today was a day for getting the house back in order. I have a window to stain - and I'd better get it done before we get the next batch (we have been getting one at a time, the next delivery there will be 4! And one will be a double window - so it should count as 2. :ack2: I will be super busy trying to get all those windows done before it gets much colder.

So, I stained the window (and it still needs 2 more coats, plus the polyurethane (sp?) ), dusted my room, cleaned the kitchen, and vacuumed. Then got laundry done, so I don't have to do it tomorrow.

Phew!

I went to look at a puppy again today. Dh is holding out (it's from the same litter Bella got her pup from.) He wants an outside dog, but is afraid this is a bad time to train it since it will be getting cold soon.
 
:party: Awwww a puppy,everytime I see the word puupy I really would love to find a BOXER puppy my white boxer is so cuite and friendly great with KIDS and I would love to have a baby version of him and this will keep him company when we are gone as well,then I think of cleaning up poo,and pee and tearing up everything I dunno lol.
Wow congrats on all the house work,I put a amll dent in my PACK RAT of a bedroom lol.Hope you have a wonderful Sunday,Tammy:waving:
 
Tammy - cleaning of the poo and pee is exactly why I don't want another indoor dog. But you know if you do it right, you do have less mess. Plus with a lab - there is just so much darn hair! (Ask Bella!) I even talked to another lady I know, and she said the same thing after having a lab in her house for about 5 yrs, she put it outdoors. I'm sure the puppy would do fine, I'm just such a sap for them.

I don't really need one either - but it would be nice to have a big dog around - just not the poo. LOL


-----------------------------

I was planning on using my extra hour for sleeping in this morning, but guess what? My body said, no it's time to get up!!! :willy_nilly::willy_nilly:
 
Question

Can you please tell me how I add my TickerFactory to my profile? Thanks - new to this and trying to get everything "set-up." Created a TickerFactory but don't know how to get it over to the site.
 
Ahh . . the joys of puppy/dog ownership. :)
To be honest, I think poo is usually easier to clean up. Now CAT pee- that is the worst! :rant: Sorry, I think I just hijacked your post! lol

Anyway, have fun with your pup- I'm on my way to walk mine!
 
Afternoon Sweat Pea!! Hope your week is going well!! ***throwing out some encouragement for a great next weigh in****
HUGS

Hi all!

Well I won't be stopping in so much. I have been spending too much time online (according to dh.) And he's probably right.

There's enough to do here at home.

I haven't even exercised this week! :( But that's due to some personal things as well as being busy with work and family.

Anyway, just thought I'd pop in to say why I haven't been on as much.
 
Forgot to mention - I got a job offer! The only thing is, I'm debating on whether to take it or not.
 
:party: Yay congrats on the job offer and GL debating
if you want it or not.Have a gr8 weekend and get some
exersice inn this weekend to make ya feel better(I need
to too)Tammy
 
I am sorry that you won't be around much, are you still planning to continue the weight-loss though?
Congrats on the job offer.... what job is it?
I am lucky I work with the computer all day so whenever I can catch a free moment I can just hop on here...otherwise I wouldn't have much time either.
Take care and hope to see you around!!!

Gratz on the job offer.
Hope you can sneak on from time to time when you can.
Keep up the good work, and good luck with your continued success!
 
Hi all! Thanks for stopping by.

Of course I will always continue to try to lose weight. I just don't have the time for this board.

I was barely online at all last week.

I did get to the dr. and changed meds. Well it's either the new job - or the meds - but I am losing weight. I don't get to "snack" during the day (never did much of that before anyway) - but then I'm also tired at night and just go to bed around 9pm (so no snacking then either.)
And my lunches are simple!

I will update my progress from time to time.

Yesterday I weighed in at 168 and a few weeks ago I was at 171 - but I've been down to 168 before, so I really need to break past that number.

I have only worked out a few times this week, but at least it's better than none.

Have a great week and Happy Thanksgiving (especially if I don't get back in here!)
 
About the job!

Oops!

I forgot to tell you about the job. :willy_nilly:

I am a teaching assitant for a Montesorri school (it's a private school.) And I work from 8-4. The Montessori way of learning is a bit different from a regular school setting. But, it seems to work. I'm so intrigued by these preK/Kdgers that they work so independently.

My job includes helping the children to find "work" because they get to choose their work, but sometimes they meander. And to make sure their work stations are complete so that they can do their work. Plus other odds and ends.

The reason I took this job is because once you're in - you're in and I also get paid training. So then I can eventually become the lead teacher - if I choose to do so (and I'm pretty sure that's the path they are wanting me to take.)

One other perk is that they give a discount for your children to attend. The first child is 100% paid. They only go up to middle school for now, but eventually are going to expand to high school.

So that means that my high schooler will just have to stay at public school. But my younger child will benefit from this. So we are all excited.

I don't know if I told anyone here this before, but I used to homeschool my children. And, only recently put them into the public school system. They do well. But, since this opportunity came up - I'm willing to jump on it.

Oh and of course I still get my summers off (unless I choose to work during the summer.) So with the benefits and the summers off - who could turn down the job?
 
Sounds like life is changing a bit for you... new puppy, job offer... maybe this is just what you needed to get your body to snap to where you want it to be. Hope so. Good luck & you know where this place is when you want/need it. :)
 
WOW lots of exciting happenings going on in your neck of the woods, you should be excited!! :hurray:

Congrats on the weight loss, and new job!! what a great week for you indeed!

I know several people who home school and they have some great kids. If your able to do that, then go for it, sometimes I believe public school anymore is so damn dangerous. My boys went to public school their whole lives, and well even though we lived in some great neighborhoods and some of the best schools in our district, they still had issues going on, you just never new what was going to happen or what was going to make a kid snap, YIKES!!

Well, enjoy your coming week, I hope it gets even better than this past week, can you imagine?? WOW, you go girl!!

Congrats!
Kim
